Update daas_guide.md by linnem · Pull Request #294 · Lumi-supercomputer/lumi-userguide

linnem · 2026-05-13T12:28:39Z

Updated the structure and added needed user support email links as well as a link to our new data catalog. Deleted information that was outdated.

I'll have a look at this on Friday or early next week.

I think this looks much better than the previous version, but I still have some suggestions and requested changes.

I directly committed some changes to your branch:

fixed formatting problem with the bullet list under "other useful information"
changed all links within LUMI docs to be relative instead of absolute links so that we get a notification if they are broken
moved all links to variables at the top so that they can be changed in one place even if used throughout the guide.

I have some suggestions / requested changes (see also the comments in the md file itself, but I'll list all of them here as well). Please let me know what you think, preferably by replying here in GitHub.

https://lumi-aif.fairadata.fi does not work, please double-check the link.
https://www.fairdata.fi/qvaimen-kayttoopas/ is Finnish, can we use https://www.fairdata.fi/en/qvain-user-guide/ instead?
Embed the MVP note in an info box similar to https://docs.lumi-supercomputer.eu/laif/software/ai-environment/#examples-for-using-the-container-images (I can do that if you think that is a good idea)
move the For startups and SME's, the easiest way to get started in using LUMI is by using one of [the computing packages of LUMI AI Factory][LAIF computing packages] line up to where access is first mentioned
Rewrite "Accessing LUMI and using Datasets with HPC tools"
- DaaS is not usable without access to LUMI so it is not important to repeat access modes here, instead move "For startups and SME's, the easiest way to get started in using LUMI is by using one of [the computing packages of LUMI AI Factory][LAIF computing packages]. to the top of the page.
- I would just link to https://docs.lumi-supercomputer.eu/software/ here (users can find the other links from there) and then mention https://docs.lumi-supercomputer.eu/laif/software/ai-environment/ and https://docs.lumi-supercomputer.eu/laif/software/workflows/ as they are particularly relevant for AI users on LUMI.
Remove "to LUMI AI Factory Dataset as a Service" from a couple of headings in the second part of the guide as it is clear from the context that DaaS is meant here.

+LUMI AIF DaaS is currently a Minimum Viable Product (MVP). MVP is the
 simplest version of a product that includes only the core features necessary
-to deliver value to early users and validate the product concept. The goal of
-an MVP is to test assumptions quickly and with minimal resources, to gather
-user feedback, and to use that feedback to guide further development.
+to deliver value to early users and validate the product concept. LUMI AIF DaaS is built upon existing services and as such the user experience and available features are already quite advanced for an MVP.


Suggestion: Embed this in a info box similar to https://docs.lumi-supercomputer.eu/laif/software/ai-environment/#examples-for-using-the-container-images?

I suggest rewriting this a bit:
